Tale of Two Cities is another good one.<BR/><BR/>Hi Judi--You know the first Dickens I read was the Pickwick Papers in Jr. High. I just wanted to read it. Loved it. And moved on to others through the years. But yeah, great characters in all his books. Memorable for sure.Cindy K.

Although, I will confess that my favorite is A Tale of Two Cities--the symbolism, foreshadowing, motifs all with great characters and plot--love it. Admittantly, they are not 'light read' books, but well worth the savoring!<BR/>Sorry to digress from Copperfield. <BR/><BR/>Michelle Young<BR/>DragonstoneMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833669928196322278noreply@blogger.com
